The limit of my knowledge has now been well and truly outweighed. I am starting to track my 2013 blade so I am removing all the fairings. What I am stuck on is the wiring on the front end and the tubes going into the air intake. My questions are. How much of the loom is plug and play as there are bundles of cables I want to remove as much as possible. The box with up on where can I mount that as I'm guessing that's to cut the engine when it's upside down. And can I remove all the air box intake stuff or is that actually needed? I can get pictures or go into more detail but I'm guessing the guys who can awnser this will more then know what I'm waffling on about Thanks jamie
Search air intake flapper mod/removal, you can then whip the whole intakes off and replace with race fairing or carbon tubes. The box you speak of is the tilt sensor, you can make a bracket or buy a HRC style catch tank bracket or similar which has the holes to bolt it back on.
Moon. thanks for that got them off now just got the tube that goes to the engine left now. will see where it goes tomorrow and try get it out the way. Unplugged all electrics for them too but can't start the engine now to see if any faults are up and it starts, bit late in my little road for that. I tried to search that tilt bracket but no luck, any chance of links please dude? Thanks
Colin, I don't need that do I? I'm cool with the original I just want somewhere to fix the tilt sensor to?
I just done a bit of stalking investigation and found this post from moon. Do you have a picture of how it fit and looked dude as I think that's what I'm going to get.
Na you don't need it mate. Though they bend back into place easily enough if you have an off unlike the OEM clock bracket which tend to snap. You could get away with using some bendable bracketry and some imagination to bolt and hold the tilt switch in position somewhere inside the nose cone if you didn't want to head down the other route.
There are two holes for cables ties on the stock bracket in the centre and I have considered that. Last thing I want is it to somehow come loose and fall off and cut out mid corner. And with my terrible luck it really is possible lol.
It looks like this, the upper left and right holes line up with the holes in original clock bracket, this is where you bolt it on. The the 2 holes in the middle are for the tilt sensor. And you can cable tie 2 catch bottles either side if your going down that route
